LETTERS FROM THE LIVING
Monday, July 03, 2006
Yipee!! Gotta thank Pauline for keeping her promise and delivering my "rewards". (Evil grinz) In fact, it should be a wager as she sounded like she called for it more than 2 months ago during my exams. She said that if I get an A for MS****, she will get me 2 CDs!! What a shame! I got an A- but I still had the audacity to claim my prize. Easy-going as she often is, she relented. Although I purposefully told her several new releases - lostprophets for e.g., she had second thoughts about getting CDs for me after learning about my CD binge. To my surprise, she got me not one but three story books - which explains the reason I five-letter word at the start of this entry. Btw, it's actually for the price for two - Thank God for Borders...haha
Reading funnily used to be the last thing that would appear in my hobbies list. I absolutely dislike reading as I found it a bore during my school days. In primary school, I borrow books from the library so as to fake that I read. It was a ploy to claim some kind of award -I couldn't register the title but it's somewhat like a reader's pin that you can redeem after completed a number of book reviews(which I lifted wholesale from the synopsis or just purely making one up) and then go on further to redeem a badge. Pauline, do help if you remember since you're a librarian. In secondary school, the reading period is always exciting as I have to dodge the teacher so as to memorise my chinese dictation or prepare for some test. It was only until during my NS days that I discovered the joys and wonders of reading. Reading has turned from being my poison to my meat. I dig thrillers, thought-provoking novels and even the occassional "chick-lit" or some book-prize work. It was a window to opening my shallow mind and inevitably helping me in my command of the English language. I then realized the fun in word-play and analogies thingy, so helpful is reading that it facilitates my TAWG - intepreting mainly.
Had a nice brunch today at Wisma Atria's Food Republic with my mum. We ate at ToastBox, which serves a mean array of "Ya Kun"-ish toast bread with a pleasant twist. (I recommend the thick toast with peanut butter, haha, hence the title of today's entry) Simply divine. Slurrrp... We spent some time together there sipping their aromatic coffee and my mum had a heart-to-heart talk with me, sharing what is she felt - both happy and troubling stuff. It was a good time of fellowship and I truly cherish such moments as they come few and far between for many people I think.
Disclaimer: I did not skip church on purpose the previous weekend as I truly attended my secondary school class gathering. Here's the proof:
Here's DJ Titanium with today's spin to kick start the week!
Soundtrack of my life today: "Half Light" by Athlete a moody yet romantic rockin' love song...
Thoughts flushing into my mind like a toilet bowl, not in a draining kinda way though...
